The resolution condemns Russia's war against Ukraine and Moscow's decision to increase the readiness of deterrence forces. The document also contains a demand for the Russian Federation to immediately cease hostilities.
Three positions are key in the resolution:
- recognition of the fact that Russia has committed aggression against Ukraine;
- demanding to Russia to cease fire;
- demanding to Russia to withdraw its troops from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders (including Crimea and Donbass).

Note that the Russian side vetoed a draft UN Security Council resolution calling on Moscow to end the war with Ukraine.< /p>
